“Alien: Covenant” Gets R-13 Rating from the MTRCB

Like its predecessor Prometheus, Alien: Covenant got an R-13 rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

This means only viewers who are 13 years old and above can be admitted. An “R–13” classification advises parents, supervising adults, or the would-be viewers themselves, that the film may contain any of the elements that may not be suitable for children below 13 years of age.

The fact that Alien: Covenant is a horror space thriller and promises to be more horrifying than Prometheus, an R-13 rating is not surprising. The gore, the graphic violence and the imagery of how the aliens will terrify the audiences, it’s best for the film to be rated R than being cut and be showcased as a family movie (lol).

The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
